Deafheaven - Pumpehuset, Copenhagen
They named a venue after your mum lol
This fucking band, god-fucking-damn. I've seen them a bunch of times and they only get better but on Thursday night I reached a moment of diamond-like clarity and understanding - like when you're in a Berlin hotel room making a hella rough porno and the pills suddenly kick in and all you want to do, nej, MUST do at that very precise moment, is immediately leave and buy a Gibson SG copy and start making grindcore with the Japanese guy you met at a record store the other day while looking through the aristocratic suicidal death metal albums - yeah, like that.
They started the show with tracks from Lonely People... which just sound utterly brutal and immense live - they have a new guy on guitar for this tour and he absolutely fucking rips. Then about a third of the way in they played Brought To The Water and the planets aligned and I almost began to weep - the music, the band, the performance melted into one glorious sensorial assault. They became the perfect band playing the perfect song at the perfect time. Going from one of my favourite bands of recent times to *the* fucking band.
Then they played Sunbather and the rest of the evening vanished.
